A bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra granted three weeks time to the Union government to file an affidavit, giving details also on proposed steps to look into a phenomenal increase in cyber enabled sex trafficking.
The bench prima facie found that that as on date, no compliance or effect worth the name has been given to the order passed by this court on December 9, 2015 and the issues raised by the petitioner, NGO Prajwala still remained to be considered.
“We may only say that the issues involved in this litigation are highly sensitive and important. They relate to the protection that needs to be afforded to the victims of sex trafficking. Human and sex trafficking are crimes that dehumanises the victim and violates the victim’s right to life, freedom and personal security. Vulnerable sections of society, especially women and children are disproportionately affected in such crimes,” it said in an order on November 12.
